Another diver has died following an accident at a scuba centre, near Hinckley.

The woman, who died on Saturday and has not yet been named, was rescued from the water at Stoney Cove and rushed to hospital suffering from decompression sickness, also know as ?the bends.?

She was treated in Leicester Royal Infirmary but was later confirmed dead.

The alarm was raised when the woman?s companion surfaced and informed staff that she was in difficulty.

Centre spokeswoman Margaret Baldwin said: ?The missing diver was very quickly found and brought to the surface, where paramedics continued the resuscitation started by the Stoney Cove team.

?An air ambulance crew took the male diver to Hull where he has received successful recompression treatment.

?The female diver was taken into an intensive care unit, but later died.?

Both divers are believed to be from the Cambridge area.
